How to order checks from Citibank
Citi’s online reorder works only if Citi already has your check details on file.
Citibank logo shown for identification only. GetBankChecks.com is not affiliated with Citigroup or Citibank.
- Sign in to Citibank Online and open the Service Center. Citi’s online guide lists reordering checks there.
- Choose to reorder checks. Citi shows a notice that you are leaving citibank.com for a site run by Deluxe.
- Deluxe recognizes your account if your last order went through Citibank. Pick a design and quantity and confirm.
- If Deluxe doesn’t recognize you, because it’s your first order or your last checks came from somewhere else, call Citi at 1-800-374-9700.
Cost: Citi’s account agreement says the cost of personalized checks ordered through Citi is deducted from your account after the order is processed.
Citi Access Checking has no checks. Citi’s agreement says checks cannot be ordered for Access Checking, and any check transaction on it will not be honored.

Cheaper option: order Citibank-compatible checks online
Your checks don’t have to come from Citibank. What makes a check work is the routing, account and check numbers printed in magnetic ink along the bottom, so any U.S. check printer can print them. Checks Unlimited verifies every order against your bank’s records.
A printer is also the easy route when Citi’s online reorder doesn’t recognize you. Printers don’t need a previous Citi order; they verify your account details directly. Just remember that after you use a printer, Citi’s own online reorder may not recognize you next time.
What you need
- Your Citibank routing number (bottom left of a Citibank check)
- Your checking account number
- A starting check number higher than your last check
- Your name and address exactly as Citibank has them on file
- A current check to copy from (not a deposit slip)
Steps
- Pick a design and quantity (singles are cheapest; duplicates make a carbon copy).
- Enter your bank details, starting number, name and address.
- Preview carefully: printers print exactly what you type.
- Choose shipping (trackable is safer) and pay.
| Check | Quantity and price | Per check |
|---|---|---|
| Carousel Blue Safety | 100 singles $20.00; 200 $39.50; 400 $79.00 | about 20¢ |
| Carousel Sled Dogs | 100 singles $25.50; 200 $46.00; 400 $92.50 | about 23–26¢ |

Security features
Citi’s checks are printed by Deluxe, one of the largest U.S. check printers. Whichever printer you use, read the new checks carefully when they arrive.
Checks Unlimited lists a MicroPrint signature line (it turns dotted when copied), chemical and erasure protection, and a security screen on the back. Its optional SentryShield protection is added at extra cost and can be removed. Choose trackable delivery and store unused checks securely.
Delivery time
Citi’s public pages don’t list a check delivery time. Deluxe shows shipping choices during the order.
Checks Unlimited: printing usually takes 2–5 business days, and printing plus standard delivery takes up to 15 business days in total after order verification (7–11 with trackable delivery). In-Plant Rush ($6.99) gets your order ready to ship within 2 business days. If you’re nearly out, pay for rush or use the bank’s fastest option.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order Citibank checks from somewhere other than Citi?
Yes, for any Citi checking account that allows checks. Use your routing and account numbers from a current check. Citi Access Checking is checkless, so it can’t use checks at all.
Why does Citi tell me to call to order checks?
Citi’s online reorder runs through Deluxe and only recognizes accounts whose last check order went through Citibank. First orders, or accounts whose last checks came from another printer, need a call to 1-800-374-9700.
How do I pay for Citibank checks?
Citi deducts the cost from your account after it processes the order. With a printer, you pay by card at checkout.
Where is my Citibank routing number?
Bottom left of your checks, or in Citibank Online. It varies by region.
Are third-party checks cheaper than Citi checks?
Often, yes. Citi doesn’t publish its prices, so start an order to see yours, then compare with the printer prices on this page.
